Born in Russia in 1903, Mark Rothko went to America in 1913. Much influenced by the European Surrealists when he began painting in 1926, Rothko's most characteristic works are the large abstract pictures which consist of horizontal bands of colour with hazy edges. His form of abstract art appeals to the spectator's emotions with his vast, sweeping canvases that rely on colour and texture to convey his sense of the tragic and sublime. The paintings, in particular the larger-format works of the Fifties, have in the main never been shown in Europe. They are reproduced here in full, with commentaries by French and American art historians and interviews with contemporary artists who assess Rothko's artistic heritage.

Mark Rothko está representado en el Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris con obras clave del expresionismo abstracto. Sus pinturas se caracterizan por grandes campos de color superpuestos que buscan provocar una experiencia emocional profunda. El uso del color, la escala y la simplicidad formal invita a la contemplación silenciosa y casi espiritual. Su obra refleja una ruptura con la figuración tradicional y una exploración intensa de la percepción y el sentimiento humano. Seller Inventory # 001379
